Tolmin, Slovenia is known for stunning mountain landscapes, breathtaking Soča River, a beautiful array of tree-lined camping area, Mediterranean weather and endless headbanging music… And this is where Tolminator steps in to follow the tradition of metal festivals in Tolmin.
Not looking back, not being completely driven by nostalgia, but moving forward to create a new festival. A more fan focused festival. Limited to only 5000 visitors that will consume all the positive elements of music and pristine nature and combine it to a brand new festival experience on the most spectacular festival location in Europe.
Like someone once said: “I’ll be back!”

Children

Until 2023, admission for children under 12 was free. Starting in 2024, there is a small fee of 30 EUR per child, payable at the entrance. Please note, that children can only enter the festival grounds if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with a valid Tolminator ticket. While we welcome children of all ages, we kindly ask parents and guardians to be responsible and ensure that their children wear sound protection, such as earmuffs, when near stages or in areas with loud music.

It’s important to understand that standard earplugs used by adults may not provide sufficient protection for young ears. We recommend using proper sound protectors, like earmuffs.

Wearing sound protection is mandatory. Those found not following this guideline may be asked to leave the festival area, and access may be revoked. We appreciate your cooperation in making the Tolminator festival a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Comfort Upgrade

Comfort Upgrade includes:

• Access to the Air Conditioned Comfort area (in the building facing Main Stage)
• Comfort/VIP bar
• Indoor toilets
• Hot showers
• parking in the vip area (in case you’re staying in an apartment, it’s a convenient way to enter the festival – if you’re staying in the campsite, it’s much more convenient to park next to your tent)
• Secured WiFi
• The price for Comfort upgrade is 50 EUR

• Orders are limited to 300 only!
• Purchase Link: MojeKarte

COMFORT/VIP AREA will be open Wednesday July 23h – Saturday July 26th 2025 from 12.00 – 01.00.

 Cup deposit

Every cup or bottle is subject to a deposit, and upon your first drink order, your PayCard will be charged a 3 EUR deposit. For subsequent drinks, your PayCard won’t be charged an additional deposit, but you must have your “old” cup with you and give it to the bar personnel. They will exchange it for a new one with each subsequent drink.

To reclaim your cup deposit, bring your PayCard and empty cup to the cup deposit point. The number of empty cups/containers should match the number of deposits charged to your PayCard.

*After years of using biodegradable and compostable single use cups, we finally found a solution on how to manage reusable plastic cups, which can be washed and reused up to 100 times. Another step towards reducing festival waste and making Tolminator more sustainable.

Electricity pre-order upgrade

ELECTRICITY HOOK UPS.

• There are 90 pre-order hookups available.

• 230V, 6A each
• Every outlet has own RCD
• Every outlet comes with a limited 50 m2 pitch (if you plan to share the pitch with a larger group, that needs more than 50 m2, you should book 2 or more hookups)
• Technician available from 8.00 until 22:00
• Users need to have their own cable, we suggest at least 50m
• The price for plug-in upgrade is 150 EUR
• Orders are limited to 90!

You can preorder your electricity upgrade HERE. 

‼️Please note that PETROL/DIESEL power generators are NOT ALLOWED any more because of several complaints from fellow campers and especially land owners and inhabitants of Tolmin, so please make sure you leave them at home and find another (less noisy) solution in case you decide not to purchase the hook ups option above or the option is sold out… That way you help us keep the location, which is one in a million…

Festival note:

Upon arrival, please inform our personnel at the box office that you need help with electricity hook-up. They will give you all needed instructions. Hooking up will be done by our technician. You need to show him proof of payment. He will also provide his contact, so you can reach him in case of any problem. We provide a 230V supply, which can power most of the appliances you might use at home. However, we have restricted supplies, rated at 6A each, so you need to be careful what you use to avoid ‘tripping out’ the system.

Tripping the electrical supply can make you unpopular on site. The least you will need to do is contact the site manager to ask him to reset the system. In cases of “extending” your supply to your friends you will also have stopped the electricity supply to your friends’ pitches. 

Use electricity with care:

Make no mistake about it. Electricity can be dangerous, especially in the damp conditions of a tent or in the open air. Even a 12V battery can give you a nasty shock if used incorrectly. Used in the right way however, you can benefit from mains electricity and, if you take the right precautions, you can use it safely.

We recommend you use a cable length of 50m, because the layout of pitches means you can be pitched a fair distance from the hook-up bollard. However, if you’re closer to the bollard, you should still uncoil the full length of your cable, to avoid it overheating in use. Avoid using extension cables. If you need to, always use weather-proof connectors and keep the connection off the ground – to avoid water getting inside.

Many tents now include a small zipped flap where the cable can enter the tent, so cables don’t need to cross the entrance.

Making life safer:

Most caravans, motorhomes and folding campers have electrical equipment fitted by design. If you are bringing electricity into a tent you will need to buy a special hook-up lead with two or more damp-proof sockets, each of which will take an ordinary 13A plug, as you would use at home.

Residual Current Devices (RCDs):

Every outlet has its own RCD. One of the reasons for using a properly-designed electrical connection to your unit is that a Residual Current Device (RCD) safety device will be wired into the circuit. This is designed to cut off the supply immediately in the case of a leakage of current to earth. Such a leakage can occur when someone touches an appliance that is damp. Particularly if the person is standing on damp ground, which can easily happen in a tent.

Keep it all dry:

Tents, and particularly the floors of tents, can be damp and moisture and electricity do not mix. The socket end of the cable will usually have some means of fixing it well above level ground. Often special clips will enable it to be fixed to a frame tent pole off the ground. Arranging to mount it off the ground in other tents, especially those with flexible poles, can be more difficult. The equipment you plug in must also be placed safely. Don’t use electrical equipment on the tent floor as leaks or condensation could lead to dampness.

How much power:

You’ll also need to think about the equipment you want to use on site. At home you’ll probably have plenty of sockets and it’s rare to overload them, but a campsite socket can be easily overloaded. If you are using an electric kettle it really ought to be a small camping one. Heaters should be low powered and ideally designed for camp life, and don’t try to run your heater and kettle together – you could overload your pitch socket causing it to cut out and you may even cut out other sockets on the campsite.

Garbage deposit (Refundable)

To receive a Tolminator festival wristband, it is mandatory to pay the 10 EUR Garbage Deposit, unless you are not staying in the Tolminator festival camp. As the name suggests, this is a deposit, and you’ll be refunded once you return full garbage bags to the designated garbage point. More information about the garbage deposit system can be found here.

If you are staying in a hotel or apartment, please bring proof of your accommodation to the wristband office. Failure to provide proof may result in the need to pay a garbage deposit. However, don’t worry—you have a whole week to verify that you are not staying at the festival camp. Once verified, you’ll get your deposit back, and there’s no need to return full garbage bags.

We strongly encourage everyone to keep the festival area and its surroundings clean. Please use the designated garbage bins throughout the festival area and take note of the marked recycling bins.

Verification and refund periods are as follows:

• Thursday, 24. 7. 2025 and Friday, 25. 7. 2025, from 10.00 to 18.00
  • Saturday, 26. 7. 2025, from 10:00 till 02:00(sunday):, 27. 7. 2025, from 8:00 till 14:00

Municipality tax – NEW

In March 2024, the Municipality of Tolmin enacted a new decree that
significantly changes festival taxes, aligning them with tourist taxes.
Unfortunately, this means we have no other option but to ask visitors to
help cover these costs.
-Festivals with up to 5,000 visitors per day will now pay 8.000 EUR per
day. For a five-day festival, this totals 40,000 EUR, up from the
previous 7.500 EUR.
-Everyone staying in a festival camp will be charged a Municipality Tax
of 10 EUR euros per person. If you are staying in a hotel or apartment,
please bring proof of your accommodation to the wristband office to
avoid being charged the Tourist Tax twice.

We will set up tents before the festival starts in a camping only area close to the food area and shower and flush toilet facilities.

After the festival, you don’t have to worry about folding the tent.

We will take a 50 EUR deposit when you take over the tent (at the festival) which will be returned to you when you leave the festival and show that the tent is not damaged.

• a tent for 2 persons
• 2 self-inflatable mats
• 110 EUR

You can order your tent HERE. 

Don’t forget to bring your own sleeping bag – it can get pretty chilly during the night.

The tents will be set up for use from July 21th 2025 on.

6 steps to follow onsite:

– At the arrival, at the entrance, when you sort out everything, show your rent a tent ticket to the personnel along with your festival ticket.

– You will be charged a 50 EUR deposit.

– You will get your tent number along with further instructions and a phone number from a person in charge of the tents (you can use the number in case you need any additional info).

Reusing Paycards

Band applications

Every year we will give newcomers a chance to perform on Tolminator. We tend to continue supporting newcomers, but there’s only a certain amount of slots we can provide each year and hundreds of bands who wanna perform. So the only reasonable option is to give the chance to bands that are also present on the festival itself as fans. With this we also make sure that the fans get that family feeling from the festival.
What to do?
At least one band member needs to come to the INFO POINT at the festival, where you will need to fill an application form and leave your CD.
This is the only way you get a chance to play TOLMINATOR. We will later go through every single recording and choose the best 15+ bands that will get a slot on the Beach Stage or even Main Stage.
If you think your band is not a newcomer and deserves a slot on the Main Stage, activate your agent that takes care of you.

Thanks for understanding and see you in Tolmin!

For web media, it is necessary to provide at least one pre-coverage publication and one article covering a previous edition of Tolminator prior to the festival (first timers are an exception).
At the same time, with application for press accreditation, media agrees to provide all media outputs of the Festival to the Tolminator press team (press at tolminator.com) after publishing or broadcasting their reports no later than on 30th of October, 2025. Meeting these requirements will be the important factor influencing the process of granting an accreditation for next edition of the Tolminator festival, and also for prioritizing your specific interview requests.
If your accreditation will be approved, you need to print your confirmation and bring it, together with a valid personal ID, to the VIP/PRESS festival entrance, where you will receive a festival wristband and pass. With sending your application form you agree to these terms.
